And that means the horn is superfluous. The flashing lights ALREADY tell you a train is coming. The horn should add no further urgency to getting the hell off the tracks.

Train driver has a duty independent of the lights working/not working.

Lack of sparks don't mean brakes were not engaged.

I looked up the story, and found the crossing where this occurred (probably) . This is from the other side of the crossing. The sign is especially poignant.

the horn is just your last warning. it means the train driver has seen you but if you don't move it's too late. he's not stopping before he hits you, even if he slams on the emergency brakes.

The sheer ugliness of the gear has put me off, that and the reputed horribility of servicing their hydro brakes.

Even 700 years before, the basic raised, ramped oval around the central area had already been worked out by the Greeks. But the Romans went BIG!
